WEEKLY WINNERS - Old timers
More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners
I am not a car fan at all. For me a car has to have 4 wheels, a steering wheel, and breaks. If on the top of that it looks nice and is comfortable, then I am happy.
Nevertheless I went to the Waterloo Lion where an old timer race took place. I like to see these old cars and imagine how the streets looked like with them and their high speed of a few km or miles !
Old Napoleon watched over them
The family picture of the participants
Must be nice to drive at a high speed of 20 km (12 miles)/h !
or driving around in this elegant sportscar !
But this little thing, a Fiat 500 is still to be seen on the streets ! They must be at least 35 to 40 years old by now. I found it on the parking place.

Oh, I love that little Fiat!! I am like you, I only need a reliable car, everything else is just unimportant.
ReplyDeleteNice old timers!
Slowly catching up, it's been a long time!!
Have a wonderful Sunday :)
My first car was a fiat 500! I bought it myself after working all a summer at beach! And then I was using it for two years every day driving to the university!!! It was the good time! I had it when I met Pierre in a student party!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I'm not much of a car fan either. I am a people fan though, and it's always fun to watch the people at the old time thingy's.
ReplyDeleteMy son would love these... he is car crazy. Fun shots.
ReplyDeleteCool! Love that old Jeep!
ReplyDeleteSuch cool old cars! I like to see them on the road. We can't see many of them on our Singapore roads.
ReplyDeleteI love that little Fiat, too!! Great shots!!
ReplyDeleteMe too....I agree with you about cars. If it has an engine, I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteLove all these old car photos tho, what a great trip, back in time.
Happy day to you dear Gattina.
That last one is cute Gattina!!
ReplyDeleteI like that dinky little fiat. I might even be able to park that.
ReplyDeleteMy father has a 'classic car' so I am familiar with these kid of gatherings. That is his free time hobby, going to shows with his 2 corvairs!!
ReplyDeleteI love those old cars and if I see anyone driving them on the highway, I always give them a toot and a wave.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE that little Fiat! So cute! Reminds me of the little Mini Coopers that are popular now... only the Fiat is cuter!
ReplyDeleteI echo that sentiment. Just give me a comfortable reliable sensible car. I don't even care what color it is (well, not purple or chartreuse)
ReplyDeleteGreat car shots. The fiat is awesome.
